From Nguyen Trai Bridge construction site to courtroom: Hai Phong changes the way it works with digital data

At the Nguyen Trai Bridge construction site, with just a touch on the tablet, the engineering team saw the entire construction structure in 3D model form. This is a daily reality at many projects in Hai Phong. From traffic infrastructure to justice, digital transformation is contributing to changing the quality of management and service to the people.

BIM paves the way for data-driven public investment management

One of the areas that has seen the most significant transformation is in transport project management. The application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has brought about significant economic and technical efficiencies, while fundamentally changing the way in which participating units collaborate.

At the road project from the old Tien Lang district, province 354, to the old Vinh Bao district, national highway 10, thanks to the application of BIM, the volume of culvert reinforcement was reduced by 9.14 tons, saving hundreds of millions of dong.

At the Nguyen Trai bridge construction site, the image of engineers monitoring the construction while comparing 3D models on tablets has become familiar. All components, technical details and implementation progress are shown visually. Thanks to that, if there are any deviations in the construction, the supervision team will detect them right from the beginning, instead of waiting until acceptance to handle, helping to avoid wasting time and materials.

BIM not only improves accuracy but also brings clear economic value. In the project of the route from Provincial Road 354 (old Tien Lang) to National Highway 10 (old Vinh Bao), BIM review helped reduce 9.14 tons of steel, saving hundreds of millions of VND. The Nguyen Trai Bridge and surrounding area improvement project also reduced more than 7 tons of steel but still ensured the load-bearing requirements. These figures show that BIM is not only an advanced management trend, but also a direct tool to create economic value for the state budget.

In addition to cost savings, BIM also improves coordination quality. According to the Hai Phong Transport and Agricultural Construction Investment Project Management Board, using a common data platform helps increase coordination between parties by about 20%, reduces errors, shortens communication time and enhances responsibility at each stage.

Acceptance work, progress monitoring, and quantity separation, which often cause a lot of pressure in project management, have also become simpler. Just select a point on the model, and all information about materials, construction time, and quantity is available. Acceptance sheets are attached directly to the model, helping with transparent control and convenient comparison.

In addition, BIM also supports the operational phase. Each completed project has a complete "digital record", helping to save about 5-10% of maintenance costs during the project's life cycle.

Step by step scaling up BIM: From transportation to other infrastructure sectors

Hai Phong has determined that BIM will not only stop at transportation projects but also needs to be expanded to other key infrastructure projects. The Government's issuance of Decision 258/QD-TTg, which stipulates a roadmap for mandatory BIM application in construction, is the basis for the city to accelerate this process.

Hai Phong Department of Construction is building a technical standards framework and incentive mechanism for businesses to apply BIM to both group B and C projects. When all infrastructure data is digitized, the city will have a solid foundation to deploy smart urban areas, with every project having a "digital fingerprint", ready to serve modern management, operation and management.

The Transport and Agriculture Project Management Board also proposed four groups of solutions to accelerate the replication of BIM: Preparing suitable human resources and equipment; Establishing a common data environment (CDE); Enhancing interaction and reporting on the BIM platform; Updating models throughout the project life cycle.

Regional Procuracy 11: Digital transformation creates breakthroughs in the judiciary

While the transport sector demonstrates the effectiveness of digitalization in public investment, the People's Procuracy of Region 11 demonstrates the role of digital transformation in judicial activities and serving the people.

Leaders of the People's Procuracy of Region 11 commented and approved data reports and operating instructions via computer.

Currently, 100% of criminal and civil case files arising in 2025 have been digitized; all documents, reports, and petitions are processed in an electronic environment with digital signatures. There is no longer the need to search through hundreds of pages of paper files; prosecutors only need a few steps to immediately access relevant documents.

Thanks to electronic data, the progress of synthesizing, statistics and monitoring cases becomes faster and more accurate. Unit meetings are almost paperless. The process of signing, approving and exchanging opinions is done online through the industry's document management system. This helps save time, reduce administrative costs and increase transparency in operations.

A notable innovation is the presentation of electronic documents and evidence right at the trial. This helps participants in the proceedings to follow easily, while increasing objectivity in the litigation. During the year, the unit organized 30 experience-sharing trials, many of which used technology devices to support questioning.

In addition, organizing online meetings helps the unit quickly connect with the City People's Procuracy and the Supreme People's Procuracy, creating conditions for sharing experiences and handling work flexibly, especially in complicated cases.

The results for 2025 show that: 100% of crime information sources are investigated on time; No wrongful convictions, missed crimes or procedural violations occur; 18 online court sessions are held, many quality recommendations and protests are issued.

From transport infrastructure to the judiciary, the digital transformation story in Hai Phong is taking place according to a remarkable model: Not only investing in equipment, but also focusing on changing the way of working based on data, digital processes and interconnected coordination.

With transportation, BIM is creating a unified infrastructure data platform. With the judiciary, the People’s Procuracy of Region 11 shows that digitalization can support process transparency, improve operational efficiency and serve the people. These two models have something in common: data-centricity, thereby promoting transparency, saving resources and improving the quality of decision-making.

In the context of Hai Phong aiming to become a smart city, a logistics and industrial center in the North, promoting science and technology - innovation - digital transformation is an indispensable requirement. Current steps, even in each individual field, are gradually connecting to create a modern, synchronous and sustainable management ecosystem.
